Factory onsite clinic
Onsite Clinic for Factories with MBBS Doctor and Nurse
An onsite clinic for a factory is a medical room inside the plant staffed by a nurse on every shift and an MBBS doctor for daily or scheduled OPD hours, handling injuries, illness, fitness checks and health records. It is the practical day-to-day layer of occupational health; where the law requires a full occupational health centre, see our OHC for factories page.
This page is about staffing and running the clinic — who sits in it, on which shifts, and how it links to your shop floor.

Staffing models for factory clinics
- Nurse-led clinic: GNM or BSc nurse on each shift, doctor visiting two or three times a week
- Daily doctor OPD: MBBS doctor for fixed OPD hours every working day, nurses covering all shifts
- Full-time medical officer: MBBS or AFIH-qualified doctor on site through the general shift, with night cover by nurses and tele-support
A typical day in a factory clinic
The morning starts with an equipment and emergency kit check and handover from the night nurse. OPD covers minor illness, dressings and follow-ups; injured workers are prioritised. Between visits the nurse completes the injury register, reviews workers returning from sick leave and supports pre-placement checks for new joiners. Any serious case triggers the agreed emergency route to hospital.
Shift cover without gaps
The hardest part of running a factory clinic is the night shift and the leave calendar. We roster nurses across three shifts where your plant runs continuously and keep a relief pool so a nurse on leave is replaced rather than leaving the shift uncovered.
Linking the clinic to safety and HR
Injury patterns from the clinic register — repeated hand cuts on one line, eye injuries in grinding — go to the EHS team every month. Return-to-work reviews tell HR when an employee is safe to resume. This turns the clinic from a cost centre into an early-warning system.
Qualifications we verify
Doctors are MBBS with valid medical council registration; AFIH-qualified doctors are deployed where state rules or hazardous processes call for industrial health training. Nurses hold GNM, BSc Nursing or ANM qualifications with nursing council registration. Every staff member is inducted into your plant safety rules before the first shift.
Legal references on this page are general guidance. Exact requirements depend on your state rules, the work you carry out and your headcount, so we confirm the applicable rules for each site before we propose a scope.
How we scope a factory onsite clinic
- Short call with HR, EHS or the project manager to understand headcount, shifts and existing arrangements
- Site or office walk-through (in person or on video) to see the actual layout, access routes and risks
- Written proposal with scope, staffing, schedule and price — nothing bundled that you did not ask for
- Mobilisation, induction into your site rules and a named coordinator for the account
- Monthly review with digital records in the Plan My Health platform
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an onsite clinic and an OHC?
Here we use 'onsite clinic' for the staffed medical room. An OHC adds the statutory structure — health surveillance programme, registers, ambulance room requirements and medical officer duties — that larger or hazardous factories need.
Can you take over our existing clinic staff?
We can absorb or work alongside existing staff and fill specific gaps such as night nurses or a visiting doctor.
Do nurses keep the statutory registers?
Yes, nurses maintain the clinic's injury and treatment registers digitally, and the doctor reviews them.
Can a doctor attend by video at night?
Yes. A tele-support doctor can advise the night nurse, while emergencies follow the transfer plan.
How fast can you mobilise?
It depends on location and staffing model. We confirm a mobilisation date in the proposal.
Will management see individual medical details?
No. Employees see their own records. Management sees anonymised summaries plus the fitness opinions the law requires for specific roles. Anything more is shared only with the employee's consent, in line with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
